LED's...White or Red??

I'm about to order some LED Tail Lights and I am curious whether people here have purchased white or red LED's for their tail lights. Are the whites too bright?? Are the red's too dim in the daylight??

I changed my taillights and I used red. If you use white, it makes the red look pink. One way to remember, is whatever color the reflector is, use that color LED.

Where can you get LED Tailights? I am looking for a set and would be grateful for any information.

+1, the reflectors / coatings are usually designed to block all the light except the color of the reflector / coatings.

For the time being until the aftermarket catches up, we are talking taillight bulbs. There is only one taillight set that I've seen. I believe it was on ebay. Haven't seen them lit up or on a Civic. If you want to buy the LED bulbs, then you can go to www.autolumination.com or www.superbrightleds.com. You can get the numbers of the replacement bulbs if you go to the civic style section of the forums and get on the lighting thread.
